Jeep Cherokee wobble while towed
We are very unhappy with our 2015 Cherokee as a tow vehicle. The wobble that we and others have experienced has caused us to question the safety of continuing to tow the Jeep. (Chrysler denies there'...

For those of you who have not had this problem, you ARE lucky! The video is not fake. No one was making the motor home wobble. I know because I was driving it in the video we made. The reaction of my wife is very spontaneous and there was nothing staged!!!!
We have had this happen too many times. We now have a longer list of folks this is happening to. We traded ours because it is unsafe. These vehicles SHOULD NOT be towed. They should not be sold to tow!! When your motorhome reacts like it does in the video, because the Cherokee cannot realign the front end you have to come to a complete stop in what ever road you are on and HOPE it straightens out again. Nearly everyone we have talked with has had everything else changed, checked, etc. to be sure it is the Cherokee. It is the Cherokee!!!!!!!
One dealer told me these Cherokees are made on Fait frame not a Jeep frame/front end and should not be towed!! Our dealer said that there is nothing that can be done to stop this from happening. It is the Cherokee, not your motor home, not your towing equipment, not the way you are hooking it up, etc., etc. It is the Cherokee. We have been through all the other options and it all comes back to the Cherokee.
I hope that you never experience this problem, but when it happens, you will remember, it is the Cherokee. We have too many others who are experiencing this problem to ignore it.
DO NOT PURCHASE A 2014/15/16 Cherokee to tow!! You are welcome to contact me personally if you are having issues, want a copy of the video (which is NOT staged!!) or would like to join the list of others with this issue so we can get something done.
